This is the best video I’ve found for teaching a beginner how to load a quilt onto a quilting frame. Thank you so much! I also loved that the video was filmed in real time.

Your hack for fixing the slack on the side is genius. It works perfectly as I loaded my first quilt today and used it.

Thanks so much for this video. Going to use this machine later today and although I took a training class this helps clear up a lot of the smaller details that I was unsure about.

Thanks Loretta. You make loading the quilt so easy to remember. I have a problem with that. Also, I put pins in my mouth all the learned before magnetic pin cushions!

Perfect video. I learned much. I have a mid-arm and will be using your tips. Thank you.

Great video. I can't wait until I have room for a larger frame and can replace my Little Foot (5') frame. Do you plan on doing a video for easier loading of a Little Foot for quilts larger than 60"?

What is the benefit to pinning the top to a leader vs just floating it?

[janblair]

what did you call the white clamp, to put in back?
thanks for video,

That did not seem intimidating at all. And no wrestling a bear on the machine. Great job, Loretta.
